Volunteering at this hostel was an unforgettable experience. The location was beautiful, surrounded by nature, which made the whole atmosphere feel magical. The staff and guests were welcoming. Whether I was helping with daily tasks or assisting guests, every moment was rewarding. The energy was always positive, and it was a joy to see the impact firsthand. This experience was truly special, and I highly recommend volunteering here for anyone looking to be part of something special.

I spent 3.5 weeks volunteering at the hostel and I absolutely loved it and can't recommend more. The location is absolutely amazing with gorgeous sunsets every night. The work is mainly running activities and reception which are both loads of fun. The team is amazing and the hostel is my favourite i've ever been too. I was able to improve my Spanish and learn a lot about the local culture. My only regret is not spending more time:)

El hostel es un lugar maravilloso en la montaña y rodeado de naturaleza, y ha sido un placer poder pasar allí un mes. Las actividades como voluntaria fueron especialmente en el bar y ayudando en algunas actividades del hostel. Tanto Eduardo como el resto del staff me trataron con cariño y respeto desde el comienzo. Agradecida y feliz de haber formado parte de este grupo! Gracias ☀️

El lugar es increíbley muy bello, las instalaciones del hostal son hermosas y las actividades como hike, yoga, cenas, fogatas, temazcal son un verdadero plus a la experiencia, tomar en cuenta que son 6 horas por día como voluntario, pero vale la pena, yo estuve en el café y me encantó tener las vistas desde la terraza todo el tiempo, es mágico estar ahí, mi parte favorita fue el mirador y mi cabañita en el pueblo, sin duda una experiencia que jamás olvidaré ✨🫶🏽💓,
